buy from moscow ten pm. if you just joined us money kevin zero in the first story this hour the growing anti-american chorus in the muslim world that sees more salt being rubbed into wounded relations between the united states and egypt it's a concern the critics say is highlighted by the fact that no meetings are expected between the leaders during president morsi visit to the u.s. for the u.n. general assembly. has more on whether egypt's new leader will be able to show more independence from washington than his predecessor. mohamed morsi came to power on promises to make how could the capital of palestine and open up egypt's corridor with gaza his presidency promised his supporters a chance to reclaim egypt some pride especially on the international stage one of the curious things is that the americans have been to egypt since morsi was elected

and they congratulated him but morsi didn't rush off to united states he went to china instead and also to iran which was a diplomatic snub to you know it it states but the snub it seems more of a token gesture because when angry egyptians took to the streets to protest against the united states the muslim brotherhood kept in the background and president morsi criticism of the u.s. was muted dr saeed sadik a longtime observer of egyptian foreign policy says morsi cannot replace the united states with another world superpower but godless of how much you might want to change your foreign policy or restructure it's a big process and you need alternatives and the alternative is not i don't think china is in the for. being a policeman the fact is that for egypt to prosper and solve its economic problems it still needs washington cairo receives close to two billion u.s. dollars a year in economic and military aid and so two and a half months into his presidency the new muslim brotherhood president is having to

maintain an increasingly delicate balancing act his hardline supporters on the one hand the waist and washington on the other prompting many observers to ask what if anything has changed since mubarak's era egypt today is not very different than it had been under mubarak egypt u.s. relations during the mubarak era were quite strong there was an important partner. economic partner for egypt and it would be very difficult for us to any president coming in during the crisis to rock the boat but the recent finding demonstrations duwayne. talks of a proposed one billion american dollars in debt relief to egypt and although washington stresses this is merely temporary and there's no major shift in u.s. aid to egypt and the relationship between the two countries remains strained this wall was erected several days ago to prevent protesters from reaching the american embassy on the other side but there is no sign of anyone wanting to take it down

a physical reminder of the growing barrier that now exists between cairo and washington but it's a barrier that neither side wants to make permanent because while morsi might be poles apart politically from his predecessor on the international front he's trading remarkably close policy r.t. . and while israel looks to stamp out the threat to its south a situation is little short of desperate to the north but later we report on how lebanon is emerging as a new front line as the chaos of syria's seekers across borders and sweeps the region. british households are feeling the squeeze from government cuts are they giving their income a pounding but a fair chunk of their tax money still being spent on foreign projects and it's not all about good charity the there's artie's pretty boy found out in london. i'm standing in front of the london headquarters of adam smith international according

to their website they provide consultancy on economic and government reform well the website doesn't say is that one of the number of firms to have profited heavily from the british government's foreign aid budget last year alone the u.k.'s department for international development spent over five hundred million pounds on international projects abroad that's allowed the executives in the company behind me to fix biggest salaries and million pound bonuses britain's hefty foreign aid budget includes an annual spend of two hundred eighty million pounds that goes to india that's despite the fact that india's economy is so successful that they themselves provide two billion pounds worth of international aid each year at a time when the coalition government is considering freezing benefits for the most vulnerable in the u.k. society some m.p.'s here are wondering whether all this time span is money should be spent they call questionable foreign aid the department for international

development. but that hasn't stopped building a new office in. quite shortly spending four hundred thousand pounds of money. now this isn't the kind of spending. given the have pressure on their own budgets for critics of the u.k.'s substantial foreign aid budget there's more bad news on the way prime minister david cameron is planning on increasing it that's going to mean lucrative contracts the so-called poverty barons that run consultancy firms like the one behind me now in recent days the bank of england has one struggling british households to brace themselves for further price hikes in food and fuel with poverty here in the u.k. predicted to increase over the next eight years many struggling households are going to be left wondering whether all that money spent abroad on what many call questionable foreign aid might be better used to home. china plans to use

unmanned drones to increase its presence around the islands that are currently the center of a volatile dispute with japan will conduct marine surveillance of the area three chinese patrol vessels still remain very close to the uninhabited but strategic archipelago of briefly entered waters which tapan considers its territory the conflict seen large scale protests in both countries turn i believe the route could be further complicated to now as taiwanese boats are heading to the islands to reassert their fishing rights to the area while all around the u.s. is increasing its military activity in the region investigative journalist james colbert in japan told us he believes washington's got an interest in stoking tension between the countries. i think we have to understand this entire dispute not in terms of the islands themselves which most average japanese an average chinese people i think don't don't really care about i think this is being played up as a as a nationalist sentiment nationalist fervor it has the potential to get bigger and right now australia is being proposed as a third party to arbitrate in

a trilateral security talks between canberra beijing and tokyo over this dispute so we'll see if it does broaden out into the region we see the us starting its asia pacific pivot so i think it actually has an interest in increasing tensions between japan and china because that makes japan ever more eager to accept an american military presence which up until now there's been quite strong protests against but now we see them renewing military joint military exercises in guam it cetera so so it is increasing the japanese reliance on the american security blanket as the as it were and i think that that plays into american interests so i think they actually probably benefit from the. you keep up the latest on the story and a lot of others too of course in our website as well there tonight a dot com bust for new zealand spy service reporting on that. the country's foreign intelligence bureau which was involved in the arrest of mager upload founder kim dotcom comes under fire from its own prime minister at one web site to find out why

resulted in conflicts that have taken place in tripoli it is resulted in. skirmishes that have happened in beirut lebanon is of course vulnerable to this type of sectarian conflict lebanon sunni's mainly support syria's rebels including the powerful militant group hezbollah tend to back president bashar al assad a member of the alawite sect was divided in half between the groups that support the syrian syrian regime and those people were actually. hoping and cup the lies and on the for what they scold the free syrian army nowhere is that divide more violently visible than in tripoli on the streets of lebanon's second largest city and sunni gunmen have been battling it out we spoke to fighters on both sides who showed no willingness to disarm. ok. you know

this is the leader of a sunni militia here in tripoli is babble to ban islam i asked him whether peace with his opponents is possible. as long as assad remains in power there won't be peace in syria lebanon or iraq or powerless done through be no peace while he is in force in neighboring general must send an alawite fighter shows me the destroyed remains of his home when asked to explain the recent fighting with his sunni neighbors this was his response not the dollars just we are defending ourselves against machines of terror in their scenario being brought in from the grid. even the push to defend islam is most unifying figure the prophet muhammad wasn't enough to bridge lebanon's sick tarion divide in beirut separate protests against an anti islam video has turned tens of thousands of shias to the streets days later a hardline sunni cleric who gathered his own supporters in the capital they may have been united in their outrage but protesters carried flags that left no doubt

which side of the syrian divide they're on for now lebanon is holding together but some residents here wonder whether this is just the calm before the storm season is it's you guys are going to go. they're going to start they can start to finish in the streets here and then. everyone they're going to fight on the streets like that so it's never going to happen this shelled out building stands in beirut green line which for nearly two decades the bided the city journey lebanon's bitter civil war christian communities lived over here to the east muslim communities lived across the street to the west but as the armed conflict in syria continues to escalate just across the border many here in lebanon fear that the fragile peace could yet again be shattered and that sectarian tensions could once again plunge this nation of nearly four million into another civil war for our team and lucy catherine elf in beirut. still ahead fits in a few minutes europe's. tator under fire the president a ruling elite of bella russo once again accused of rigging after opposition

members fail entirely to win a single parliamentary seat. and euro bank is stumble on an extra gap of some twenty billion euros in the greek budget deficit making the current robot recovery . if you're passing through rushes to veer region you really can walk on the wild side thousands of kilometers of unspoilt countryside make up an area where it's still possible to live off the land and enterprising locals so the fruits of the forest by the side of nearly every road such spectacular scenery makes it a paradise for fisherman and provides a business opportunity for hunter is. going on he has been hunting for more than thirty years and works for a company providing expeditions for tourists this season ducks are on the menu.

hunters or bought from zoos have a second chance at life and conservationists have a unique opportunity to observe them these walls are all around four months old and they'll stay in this area for up to three years then most will go back to the wild for good just viewing them from the car was an experience in itself but then after a bit of a bumpy ride came an opportunity i just couldn't pass up. and this is what i was hoping for when i heard i was coming to a place called wolf island a chance to get close and personal with the locals and it's these guys are going to act as pasta parents for the next generation will come here using the older walls as surrogate parents has already proved a successful technique. every year i place infant wolves with one year old wolf cubs his parental instinct is totally shaped and they take them as their own cubs

it's an important part of the world's development and a major factor in the success of a project which has seen more than twenty generations of cubs grow up here it's going to continue to take time and money to rehabilitate the wolf's reputation in russia. but the keepers here hope their research and dedication mean that wolf island remains a place where visitors can truly understand the cool of the wild. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom hardy welcome to the big picture. hello again international debt inspectors have stumbled on a whopping twenty billion euro black hole in greece's budget creditors from the

i.m.f. the european central bank and the e.u. are in athens a bally waiting those cuts and deciding whether it deserves more bailout money let's get more on this revelation then talk to economist younis but of fact as he's from the university of athens yeah this evening to you wow what was thought to be a deficit of twenty billion actually turns out we think to be a forty billion euros shortfall why did this come to light before is hardly something keep it in for long as it. why it hasn't come to light because the troika especially the i.m.f. have decided not to reveal it months ago. and that's the political decision you see the second bailout was predicated on a number of assumptions which were always unrealistic. especially the group think that. the government which is. completely in the sticks and it's going to decide it's not. that's ok what does it tell us about the relationship between athens and the e.u.

there if i can trust each other with deficit numbers what was the talk about. it's not a question of trusting this was common knowledge amongst themselves it's not that the government had not the field that secret that figure was very well known amongst the europeans and the i got someone at the front but the problem with that they are having a great case having is that they didn't want to make good their own failures mining and exit of the greek economy from its crisis because they don't even think they're only interested in finding a solution but it's only in spain at the moment and they just don't want any news from greece to might be the picture that's all there is so it's just going to change anything now i mean would the eurozone really dare give up on greece at this stage given this news that's out now publicly considering the ramifications of a greek bankruptcy for the entire world let me be clear on this if germany. of greece if they couldn't greece out of the euro zone they would have done this

last spring the reason why they're not doing it is because they don't think they're going to fall through that the first thing. they're. yellow so there you go she lost the line to there maybe the money's ready to me to do or not yanis varoufakis from the university of athens is slightly dodgy line there anyway those who have lost it altogether now will try you about she later said if you still hear us ok. the a european election watchdogs slam sunday's parliamentary vote in belarus those results show a new lower house predominantly behind longstanding president alexander lukashenko although serious observers say the election was fully democratic the result may further harm in sex relations with the west as a lecturer jessica reports now. there will be no members of the opposition inside developer russian parliament old hundred nine deputies which were elected following sunday's parliamentary elections will be supporting president lukashenko current political course this is according to the russian central election commission this

parliamentary election in belarus had an increasing number of international observers with more than four hundred observers of which from the european union some of the international observers criticized the election calling them undemocratic and saying that the members of the opposition were not registered in the course of the campaign and had very little air time on television which violates all democratic norms now such a result of the election comes as no surprise to most of the political analyst i spoke to some of them just last week saying that they would not expect anything different from this election mainly because the opposition in the country had been divided part of the opposition decided to boycott the election and other part of the opposition withdrew from the election at the very last moment this election paints a very grim picture for. relations with the european union with so much criticism coming from europe with you were actually had hoped for

a proper democratic election this time but certainly given the comments coming from the international european observers about the election this seems to be it still seems to be an issue and hardly the relations between minsk and the rest of europe will become anybody. else around the world this monday night clashes between police in the philippines capital is left of the. violence broke out please try to barricade the building when the killings. angry residents responded by throwing stones. at the angry crowd these are the latest pictures we go through tends to pull down the. school has ignored official request. a woman l.n.h. or a boy being killed in a suicide bomb blast targeting a catholic church in northern nigeria and the attack and try to ram an explosive explosives packed car into the building but was blocked by security barriers churches in the region of recently suffered a number of similar assaults by radical islamic sect boko haram. georgian

government scrambling to save face ahead of next week's election after the release of shocking footage of prisoner abuse although several prison officials have been arrested and two key ministers quit the wave of youth protests won't die down and as r.t. discovered from the man who exposed the videos president psycho's fully was perfectly aware of what was going on in the facilities. the public is in fact full so shocked and angry that they're comparing the footage from the georgian prisons with back from guantanamo except it contains suspected terrorists while here we're talking about ordinary georgian inmates another factor irritating the public right now is the recent arrest of one of the corners of the student protest movement got to take more yank he was detained on saturday by traffic police officer we are not abiding to the authorities orders he was put in prison for ten days but it is reported that he was that he would be fined the wheels off before stopped by the police early

r.t. managed to meet with the man of the store and all disappear in the video allowed to go to the crowd that used to be one of the senior staff members of the group that he for the n.b.c. claims were personally shot many of these videos being george's interior minister showed the videos to the president it was just for fun for no particular reason it was like we do what we want with people one city key to prison you are nobody you have new dignity this is why these videos cause such treats and georgia all of this is definitely a huge blow to be a mutual cornice since the election to parliament is coming up on the first of october and aborting to the elitist rules both president saakashvili and the ruling party have already lost up to twenty percent of all supporters. or let's go back and try to continue our chat with yanis varoufakis the university of athens we lost lines a bit earlier on the gallery on the line again now yeah thanks for coming back to

us. without a conversation. but ask you about the french. voiced support today for greece's play for more time to go to break a brief break anyway from us territory given these new findings this black hole been talking about a longer expect the sympathy to last from him at least. you know i don't mean here is again. oh ok here you know a great maybe like to answer the question here i live nicer ok so i suppose the question is about the black hole the big black hole was always well no it's not a question of whether the good government going to be tolerated by the european union the i.m.f. they're always known it was there just that now the you know the actually the next number question yes the question is whether french pm he voiced support today to give greece a bit more time now given this news of the black hole we're talking about do you think this minister in particular is going to be as sympathetic now of course

because today had nothing new was revealed to any of the politicians of european union all of them germans and the french knows that greece will be given more time and more money either that greece will have to be thrown out of the euro zone they can't afford to get rid of the recently or so so that will give greece more money which will for greece because that money goes straight into the black hole and simply complicates the process of solving the problems with italy and spain and the reason for that is that you're a peace deal refusing to deal systematically with a systemic crisis or i will thanks for your thought it is a very short break but nice to see you again economist a lecturer yanis varoufakis from the university about themselves much. this is r t there is latest business news just ahead.
